Sri Lanka does not have very many independent journalists and we must protect the few that we have. And the State has a responsibility to ensure that.

This is not on. The way this is going no person is free to express his own views. Where are we heading ? media freedom is myth in Sri Lanka.

Posted By: Devapriya

I am not with any political party... there can be another side of a story... thinking unbiased can this be an instance where this was done to assign more pressure on the gov. Seriously this is another way to divert attention. Hope he will be fine.

"Conspiracy to discredit the Government and to sling mud on the great victory gained by heroic and brave security forces." Posted By: sudath. This is conspiracy by Government against the Media. The conspiracy to discredit the Government is nothing but a myth. This is one those person who believe whatever the government say.

Now it seems too much.... Day before yesterday it is Sirasa and today Lasantha.... No matter what their vision is.... Media should have the freedom to report.... If the facts are wrong, why these ppl are bothered??? Ppl will reject them.... But the truth is that, ppl knows that there is some truth out there.... Do anyone think that all media should be a sh** like state media??? Now do all journalists should have to follow Mahinda Abeysundara or Sudharman to save their lives???? Now wht is our government going to do? They will accuse UNP for this too.... This is so silly.... Ppl have to open their eyes and see.... UNP has done wrong to media when they are in power, YES.... But, when they are not in power????

A Road Map to Rule by the Gun! One fearless man who was 'forthright' in his views has been taught a lesson by the gun! Mr. Ambassador of America, you only said the other day "the media is under threat". Hardly we passed the reading, another fearless journalist has paid the supreme sacrifice!

After Dr Gamunu some one else has taken over. We all know who??

I think the journalist association must make a huge awareness about the present Sri Lankan situation to the world.

I do not agree with the people who suspect GOSL. We know that it is very easy to say for anything that Gvt is rsponsible. Guys could you please analyze the present political and military environment. Do not put all debts in to the Gvnmnt account as there are many motivated parties want this moment to be used against government and distabilised the current political and military trend as their last resort.

We can be confident that the IGP will be asked to make an impartial investigation.

Posted By: T.I. J.Deen

Every body is criticizing the government. But I feel it can be some other party doing all these to destroy the image of the government which they gained by defeating LTTE. Govt is already blamed for the sirasa attack and in such case govt will never do another similar thing. So it can be LTTE, opposition or some other party who wants to see the govt is in trouble.

Well done,FIVE STAR level democratic country.Another small incident to all ministers.as far as they are OK.What a shame Is this the FREEDOM for media.

The government will investigate this of course. Horage ammagen pena ahanawa wage wadak!

We are a democratic country.No person should be allowed to express views.They should only say what we like to hear.We are the preservers of media freedom.The next target may be the Daily mirror.

Posted By: Mr ten percent

Dear DM & Readers, It is now very clear who is behind all these crimes. Surely, we will not enjoy this type of web news, readers comments, etc for very long.

Posted By: Jay Jay

We should start bring down the chinthanaya!!! Kakille and Horu tika....and should bring the people who love the country and its all people into power.. Hope daily mirror is brave enough.....

Posted By: wimale

It looks people are safer in the LTTE controlled area than the other part of the country. DM please be careful and make sure that you only publish news in favor of the GOSL. Otherwise you too will end up like this. Long lives Sri Lanka
